Unlike other flammable weapons and objects, you can use the Bomb Flower even if it is raining. The material will still ignite and explode when it comes in contact with the ground or at an enemy.

How to Change the Weather

Sleep in a Bed

If you want to change the weather quickly, sleep in a bed at a stable or inn as this gives you the option to advance the time.

All options to pass in-game time

Until morning 5:00AM
Until noon 12:00PM
Until night 9:00PM

Pass the Time By a Campfire

You can also pass the time when you sit by a cooking pot or a campfire.

If there are no campfires nearby, you can make one by striking a Flint next to a piece of Wood on the ground.

You can also place a Zonai Portable Pot and set it alight to create a campfire.

Wait for the In-Game Time to Pass

The weather changes between 4:00AM, 8:00PM, and 12:00PM. You will need to wait 4 hours of in-game time or 4 minutes in real time for the weather to change.
